Backup Girl No More: Adios To My V-Card and My First Love

Chapter 25 Chapter 25 In fact , I liked you long before he did .

Henrys words made Calista steal a few extra glances his way .

Ken laughed bitterly .

No wonder .

I always wondered how you managed to get your hands on so many unique gifts over the years .

Music boxes , Louis Vuitton bags … They were all specially picked out for Calista , werent they ? Henry readily admitted it .

Yes , they were .

Ken felt like he was losing his mind .

He reached up , agonizingly tugging at his hair , his eyes vacant .

Finally , he crumpled weakly to the floor .

His best friend had married the love of his life .

Was this divine retribution ? But Ken wasnt one to surrender easily .

He emptied the contents of his bag onto the floor .

Calista , look .

These are all the little gifts you made for me .

They hold the precious memories of our time together .

Calista couldnt take it anymore .

Ken , enough ! I dont have feelings for you anymore .

Bringing this up now is pointless .

Back then , I was simply naive .

Im sorry for causing you trouble .

Ken was stunned .

He had brought up their history to remind Calista of the good times , not to elicit an apology .

Utterly defeated , Ken realized that no matter how hard he fought , it seemed futile .

I wont accept this .

I wont accept you marrying him ! Calista gave him a conflicted look .

I already discussed the marriage with Uncle Johnson .

He knows , and he gave his blessing .

At that moment , Henry ushered in several security guards from outside .

They approached Ken , saluting him before explaining .

We apologize , sir , but unauthorized personnel are not permitted on the base .

Please cooperate with us .

89.1 % Chapter 25 With that , they restrained Ken and escorted him off the premises .

Ken thrashed against them .

Let go of me ! Im not going anywhere ! Im not leaving ! Calista , look at me ! Just look at me … Even after Kens shouts had faded away completely , Calista remained somber .

I truly dont know how he found his way here .

She then gently touched Henrys bruised cheek , concern etched on her face .

Why did he have to be so brutal ? Are you in pain ? Ill fetch some ointment for you .

As Calista turned to go , Henry grabbed her and pulled her into an embrace .

Dont go … Calista froze , noting the frightened inflection in his words .

Her heart melted , and she reached up to rub soothing circles on Henrys back .

Okay , Ill stay .

Ill stay right here with you .

Henry lowered his head to rest his chin on her shoulder , sniffling pitifully .

Calista , Im so jealous .

Calistas hand slowed its comforting motions , just for a moment .

A few seconds passed before Henry continued , Im insanely jealous of Ken .

Why does he get to have so much of your past … Whats there to be jealous of ? The past is the past .

My present and my future belong to you now .

However , Calista had no desire to compare their jealousies .

Henry , you mentioned that you had feelings for me even before Ken did .

Is that true ? A hint of bashfulness colored Henrys face .
